Out of tax of S9,SS6 all has been
paid into the town treasury except $751;
%. We think this is pretty good
showing. But once before since the
present system of collecting has been in
operation has the amount passed over
to the collector been less than the above.
The first snow storm of the season set
in last Thursday and gave us about six
inches of snow, making fair Sleighing.
An addition thereto ON tuesday greatly
improved the sleighing. However, the
dryness of the springs makes the farmers
hope that winter will not close in upon
us until we have good, soaking rain.
The fall term at the Academy closed

usual examinations in which the stu

siderable hard work and study put in

their efforts in behalf of the school, and
we congratulate them upon the success

Among the items in the Lyndon Union
from St.JOhnsbury last week we find the
following concerning our neighbOr Keel
er. 1t is so good that we publish it for
the benefit of Fred's friends at home -
When Uncle Toms cabin was here, Fred Keel
er, the popular runner, appeared in town with
bran new silk plug ON. One of the street gamns
threw an eye on him and Immediately called to
his pals. boys, there's Uncle Tom" and for
some minutes afterwards Fred headed a street
procession of urchinS who had no money to buy
tickets. but who were bound to take in all they
could of the show on the outside. The situation
was somewhat notifying, and Fred undertook
to explain matters to the boys several times, but
the imaginary resemblance was too striking to
convince them that they were on the wrong trail,
and Fred was obliged to take his orders that day
under the inspection of the boys. Brother rum
ners are making free use of this incident. but
Fred still hangs to the hat and answers good ma
turedly to the salutation, Good morning, Uncle
Tom
An interesting case of Hdbeas Corpus
will be heard by Judge Powers at the
Court House next Friday. The COM
plainant. John B. Ladeau, of Piermont,
n. H., is father of GeOrgiana d. Ladeau,
an interesting little girl of about nine
years of age. The girl has lived with
place, ever since she was fifteen months
old, at which time her mother, who was
sister of Miss Gauthier, died. From
that time to the present Miss Gauthier
has nurtured the child without cent of
expense to the father, and claims her by
parOl gift. From January 1st, 1880,
the father has not contributed to the
child's support, nor has he seen her
from that time until within a month.
The writ was granted by Judge Taft and
the child taken to Montpelier last week,
where such proceedings were had that
the case was transferred to Hyde Park
to be heard by Judge Powers. Il. 5.
Deayitt, Esq, brought the complaint,
but when the venue was changed he
transferred to p. K. Gleed, Esq. Col.
E. b. Sawyer appears for the defense.
The case is very interesting one
nd no Ill lDO

dOubtedly be a large number present.
There has been but one other case of a
similar kind ever heard in this county
and that occurred some nine years ago,
being the case of Shepard VS.. Shepard.
